the son of the Jon Huntzman whose billions have created the terrific cancer hospital? The same son of the man that Beck thinks is the greatest human on earth?

It was said that George Schultz, while Secretary of State under President Reagan, would give new ambassadors a test: he would show the ambassador a large globe, and ask him to point out “his country”.

The correct answer was to point to the United States, but many missed the point of the exercise and pointed to the country to which they were to be sent. Some embarrassment would certainly follow if the point had to be explained.

How many of our current ambassadors would not only fail the test, but even continue to argue about it?

Speaking earlier on Friday morning the US Ambassador to China, and former Republican governor of Utah, Jon Huntsman said that the talks on human rights were difficult but a sign of improved relations between countries that have had strained relations in the past year over US arms sales to Taiwan, internet freedom and cyber attacks, and trade disputes.

“We’re talking about issues that are uncomfortable, quite frankly, but it is a sign of maturity that we can talk about specific cases,” Huntsman said.

There is no doubt in my mind that Ambassador Huntsman is onboard with the rest of the State Department! Huntsman is not one of us any longer!

Y’all realize that as the Ambassador of the United States to China, it is Huntsman’s sole responsibility to speak of US policy, and not to provide his personal opinion? As a result, by insisting that he do this you are requesting that he violate the role of an Ambassador and behave inappropriately. Not trying to be an ***but if he were to answer that question he would be doing something wrong…….

… if a Huntsman were to “break bad” on this, and “Dubsican” makes a good and valid point. As the US Ambassador to China, Huntsman is pretty effectively gagged, and prevented from doing the tap-dance on Posner’s skull that is so richly deserved.

Coming from a candidate who left office to bolster her rhetoric bonfides, methinks this is a canard issue.

If you’re curious as to what Jon Huntsman Jr. wants in terms of immigration you already have his record as governor of Utah. Where’s Palin’s record of dealing with illegal immigration?

In March 2005 Hunstman Jr. signed Senate Bill 227 into law March 8. Utah no longer issues driver licenses or identifications to illegal immigrants.

Then again in 2007 on HB241 Huntsman said he may veto the bill that would repeal lower “In-State Tuition” rates for children of illegal immigrants that attended 3 years of High School, and did not have citizenship themselves. Don’t remember what his reasons were for his ‘consideration of a veto’ if the Bill reached his desk.

The point I’m making is there is information available on Huntsman’s thoughts on illegal immigration, and yet.. why is Palin somehow authoritative enough to ask this question?

It would mean a hell of a lot more coming from someone who a) Finished their entire term in public office, and b) came from someone who had to review a similar law in the executive position that had to make a decision or work with the legislature regarding the law.

To me this is Sarah Palin sitting in the pundit’s seat calling out the competition because it seems like a mighty opportunity to force an answer out of someone that is attempting to develop better relationsihps with the Chinese, not divide them.

I think its entirely disingenous, and a spineless political move.

Is going to get what he deserved. When you sign on with the Obama Administration, these are the type of stands you have to take. What else did he expect?

And of course, if Huntsman wants to have a future in the Republican Party, he should speak up. Let Obama fire him if he wishes. But you have to stand up to stupidity.

Look, Huntsman, Sr. is as good as Beck says he is, but he’s not in politics, so lay off. I’d like to say that Huntsman, Jr. is a young Bob Bennett with good hair, but he’s not as conservative. We Utah conservatives were glad to see him leave Utah. He was bad on energy, bad on school vouchers, bad on public lands, and bad on taxes. Good riddance, and may conservatives look him over long and hard before putting any hopes on him.

and you bring up how unclean your cuff is, how embarrassed you are that you didn’t iron your cuff, how you can’t believe that you would be caught dead in public with a cuff like that, does anyone think you really feel that way, or by bringing up your own faults first you bring up, without saying anything about it, the other man’s suit. While I don’t 100% agree with Arizona’s policy, it is nowhere near what China does, and by broaching the subject early we show them that we are able to discuss openly the controversial topics in our country. Even if they stay silent, everybody knows how they should have responded, and we want China to be able to talk about these things, so we start the conversation.

I personally believe in the old adage that He was following orders! He is just repeating the Administrations interpretation of the events it is how it is done. They do not speak with out permission or prior orders as to content and when to deliver the message, it is just how the ambassadors do their job. I think we have another scapegoat in the making here nothing more nothing less. Like the recent announced retirement of an administration figure of the Mineral Management Service we know that is where the blame will fall. Just as this civil servant will be made to kowtow for his transgression. We must look further than just the tip of the iceberg. NO Ambassador speaks freely with out a script already approved it is just how it is done.

They are related but I am not sure that their political agendas are the same. I believe the former Governor of Utah would have an extremely hard time winning if he were to run in this state. You see he turned turncoat to the people of Utah after he was re-elected to a second term. He did not disclose his true feeling until after the election was over and then he let the bomb fly. I am talking about the homosexual situation. This infuriated many Utahans. He new if he stated his views before the election he would not get re-elected. Besides he sided with Obama which would also lead to his demise.
Huntzman senior was a truly great man which many noble characteristics. Sorry, I cannot say the same for the son.
